Worth noting I encountered these liberal apologists within MONTHS of Biden taking office. The very day it came to light that he was opening even more concentration camps, there were liberal Democrats crawling all over reddit, tumblr, and twitter to explain why this was good ackshually.

Side note: Never listen when they say “now’s not the time to talk about this in an election year.” That’s a red flag that alerts you that you can safely discard anything else they say after that. They were saying that already in 2021.

    simultaneously blame democrats … for having too much government reach and action on immigration and the border AND THEN turn around and complain that they are too soft on the border and immigrants are just flying through.

    I don’t think anyone around here thinks that Biden’s being “soft” on the border…or that we should even have a border in the first place…

    The phrasing “too much government reach and action on immigration” (because they should have none, which neither party offers) and “soft on the border and immigrants are just flying through” (because any maintenance of the border is unacceptable, whether “soft”-looking or not) really shows how silly it is to try and pigeonhole everything into partisan newspeak. Let’s say it like it is: borders suck and all of us here (I hope) are going to criticize any party or group that wants to continue hurting people because of them, regardless of who they claim to represent.

    it’s sooo cool to blame Democrats (and apparently liberals…

    I mean yeah it totally is lmao.
